No. If you're commuting in for each day, its £18 for a day pass, which
covers access to all games and events. £25 is the convention membership cost
for residential members.

There are, but you will need to sign-up fast, and ensure you're registered for the convention, preferably buying your day passes in advance. The reason for this is simple: freeforms are cast in advance and each character is crucial to the game's running. If, for some reason, you decide not to come for the day, or leave early, this can screw-up a freeform. Therefore we need to guarantee that if you sign-up for a freeform, you WILL be attending.

Tabletops are not pre-registered: you sign-up for games at the con, so there
are tons of places available because no one can sign-up in advance. We will
also have plenty of board games on offer, so hopefully your girlfriend will
have things to play.

We really hope you can make it, Chris and look forward to seeing you. By all
means email me directly if you have any additional questions.
